The Champions League is back and it was an emphatic night for Aston Villa on their return to Europe's top table. *Insert men against boys gag*.

Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete dine on some tasty Carabao after Man United’s big win last night and Paul Mullin almost dined on Alex Cochrane in the “Hollywood” derby. Plus, Andy Carroll is set to spend the year drinking wine in the south of France and we couldn’t be happier for him.
